Summary0008330: CMake finds links to dependencies rather than the actual location
DescriptionI have some links on my system to libraries which the GNU Autobuild system for some builds can't find in the location where I have them.

For example X11 is installed in /usr/X11R7/. Some apps/libraries look for it in /usr/X11R6/, so I have that link. Most builds use the actual directory: /usr/X11R7/ although they must find it with the link. However, KDE stuff that uses CMake finds the link and uses the link.

It appears to me that when finding a library through a link that CMake should then determine the actual directory and use that actual location rather than the link to it.

Hmm, why should it ? Do you have any problems with that ?

I didn't understand what the problem is, so I don't think anything has to be done.
